LPC Director of Community Development Lynn Hyde gave an overview of statistics for the Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement divisions to the Board of County Commissioners on 1/21/26. Metrics show that the time to go through the Development Review Process has been steadily improving since 2023, now closer to the time it took in 2022 when the Planning Department was last fully staffed.
There were 157 active planning permits in process as of January 20th, with only 7 awaiting assignment to a planner. 212 projects were submitted in 2025, up 6% from 2024. 280 projects submittals were concluded in 2025, up 8.5% from 2024.
In the Building division, permits and valuation trended down in 2025. 143 Single Family Resident permits were issued. The review time for permits has been reduced thanks to improved processes and often building inspections are frequently scheduled as soon as next day.
104 Code Enforcement cases were closed in 2025, and 106 parcel research requests were completed.
